Where have all of the good farming games gone?

To my memory, I have only played one good farming game series, it involved harvesting, sprites, and a moon. Every time I browse the web for a farming game, the results are games that are not up to par with my expectations as a gamer . Do farmers not deserve honor? After all, they provide most of the food we eat. In March 2011, I decided to make a Farming Game. This farming game will satisfy me as a gamer. The mission was to not make a lame social farming game, but a full-fledged farming RPG where the farmers have stories and lives.

Cross-Platform for the Win!

It is time to break the standard convention of farming games

We want to show people that farmers aren't merely hermits on a farm, concentrating only on growing crops and livestock. We wanted to show that farmers are businessmen and women. There are many obstacles and enemies that they must face. Those enemies include thieves, other farming organizations, politics, and even wild animals like wolves. We would like to show others what many people have to deal with in the agricultural world; things which may not be seen to all of the city-slickers, despite the rise in popularity of Farmer's Markets in metropolitan areas. We will like to show people what many people have to deal with in the agricultural world, which may not be seen to all of the city-slickers.

Jezebel

Jezebel and her 'glory'

Yes, we know she may look ugly, but that is the point. When we see our enemies usually, they don't grab our eye as "wife-material"(beautiful beyond all measure). She is someone you will want to avoid them as much as possible. Her history is more broken than most of us, her family was killed by a group of meth-heads while she slept in the barn with her favorite pony. She woke up to see her family's home burned down with her family dead. This was all during harvest time, so out of denial she just began harvesting crops over and over again. She later grew bitter and vowed to be the most powerful woman in the world to ensure that no one will take advantage of her, like the murderers of her parents.

So what do you do in Fields of Fresh?

[***]For those strategic farmers out there, the goal of the game is to maximize time, space and resources to produce crops at low rates with great quality.

[***] For those who love to see and play-out a good story, Fields of Fresh takes you on a journey to uncover and repair broken lives of a diverse set of characters in a small rural town.

[***] Each 'level/stage' has a set of objectives with various tasks from fighting a mob, selling a quota of crops, or simply rescuing dying sheep.

Why do we need your money?

Well that is quite simple. We will all love to make a good game, but we just simply can't spend all day long coding without paying our bills and life expenses. We will use your money to get artists to polish the graphics up, far better than a soldier can polish his shoes during bootcamp! We will like to get our artists to work on fixing up many of the sprites, tiles, and backgrounds that are a bit out of place/style. Also we will like to add tons more items, foreground and background tile images. One more thing we need your money is to help pay for things like a dedicated camera guy and voice actors. We don't want to give you a cruddy adventure. We want you to stand in awe of a little farming town that became the hometown of a legend.

That was some sweet music, where did it come from?

Well now that you asked, the music is actually royalty free and made by a dude named Kevin MacLeod from www.incompetech.com

Risks and challenges

After getting funding for the project the fun will really begin. One of the toughest parts will be to maintain updates and it's cross-platformability of the game. There are still voice actors we need to grab for certain characters for the game and spriter schedules we have to work around. Even with a successful campaign, getting the word out about the game will be indeed a tough challenge. In the indie world it seems to be either a fail or a masterpiece. There seems to be a small amount of games out there that have middle class rank that many know about.
